My engine shakes oil is in the coolant The runs hotter then usual and at one time I was leaking Do have a Head Gasket problem?

Yes, the symptoms you describe—engine shaking, oil in the coolant, overheating, and previous oil leaks—strongly suggest a blown head gasket. These are all classic indicators of head gasket failure. The oil in the coolant is particularly telling, as this indicates a breach between the engine's cooling and lubrication systems.

However, it's crucial to have a mechanic diagnose the problem definitively. While the symptoms point towards a head gasket, other issues could be causing some or all of these problems. A proper diagnosis involves pressure tests and visual inspections. Attempting repairs without a confirmed diagnosis could lead to further damage and unnecessary expense.
